Abstract

Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is produced by neurons in the caudal brainstem that receive sensory information from the gut and project to several hypothalamic regions involved in arousal, interoceptive stress, and energy homeostasis. GLP-1 axons and receptors have been detected in the lateral hypothalamus, where hypocretin neurons are found. The electrophysiological actions of GLP-1 in the CNS have not been studied. Here, we explored the GLP-1 effects on GFP (green fluorescent protein)-expressing hypocretin neurons in mouse hypothalamic slices. GLP-1 receptor agonists depolarized hypocretin neurons and increased their spike frequency; the antagonist exendin (9-39) blocked this depolarization. Direct GLP-1 agonist actions on membrane potential were abolished by choline substitution for extracellular Na+, and dependent on intracellular GDP, suggesting that they were mediated by sodium-dependent conductances in a G-protein-dependent manner. In voltage clamp, the GLP-1 agonist Exn4 (exendin-4) induced an inward current that reversed near -28 mV and persisted in nominally Ca2+-free extracellular solution, consistent with a nonselective cationic conductance. GLP-1 decreased afterhyperpolarization currents. GLP-1 agonists enhanced t...Continue Reading
